Could you use sidewalls through the 56ft long side penetrating into the cavity, 
running the pipe in the accessible space?

Subject: inaccessible concealed space

I am working on an existing building where there are four concealed combustible 
spaces that I don't think sprinklers can physically be installed in. They 
measure 1'-0" wide, 1'-6" high and about 56 ft long. They are open on one end 
to a larger attic space. The only space that it can be fed from is the open 
area. Neither the contractor nor I can figure out how to get into the space and 
work pipe and hangers. Opening the space up along the 56 ft length is not 
practical and running pipe 1'-0" off the floor in finished spaces in not 
allowed. Any thoughts?
